Author's Note: I decided to end this right. So the next or several chapters will do that.

KC's POV

"Hey, you need to get to the studio ASAP," the producer told me over the phone.

"I thought we weren't meeting there until four?" I asked.

"Plans change, now get here," he said, hanging up on me.

I've recorded a few songs these past two months.

I drove to the studio and went in. The president of the record label was there.

"Hello KC," he said.

"Hi," I said. "What's going on?"

"We have some big news!" He said.

"Really? What is it?"

"We've lined up a tour for you," he said. "So, after you release your album in a couple of months—"

"Couple of months?" I asked. "I thought we weren't releasing it for a year?"

"It's better if we do it sooner," he said.

"But a couple of months, isn't that a little fast?"

"Not in this business," he said. "Now you need to record six more songs, so that it'll be a ten-track album. Probably should start tonight."

"Tonight?" I asked. "I promised my husband that I would video chat him and our kids tonight."

"Well, you're going to have to break it," he said. "If you don't prioritize this album, you won't get anywhere."

Riley's POV

I walked into Topanga's with Andrew and Penny. Farkle was there, playing some music. Aaron and Brooklyn were sitting at the counter (Brooklyn in a highchair), so that Katy could watch them. I walked up to the counter.

"Hey Katy," I said.

"How's little Topanga doing?" She asked.

"Good," I said. "Have you heard from KC?"

"A little bit, but she's been really busy," she said.

"Are you happy for her?"

"Yeah, I am," she said. "She's doing what she loves."

"Like you finally got to do what you love?"

"What I love is being a mother and grandmother," she said. "I've always been an actress, even if I didn't get on TV."

"What was your best acting 'gig' then?"

"You mean the best I've ever acted?"

"Yeah," I said.

"When I was with Anthony," she said. Andrew took Penny to sit down. "He first hit me on my sixteenth birthday, I covered it up and acted like nothing happened. I even convinced myself that it would never happen again. I was wrong, of course, but I kept acting like nothing was wrong, when our relationship was completely toxic, he was toxic for me." She started wiping out glasses. "He was a good actor too. He fooled everyone, making them think he was a good person. I stayed with him because I convinced myself that he needed me. He beat me, cheated on me, took my entire innocence, and I let him, by staying."

"You shouldn't blame yourself, Katy," I said.

"I'm not, he did those things, not me," she said. "I only wish I had left him sooner, but then I wouldn't have had KC. She was the only good thing that came out of that relationship."

"Does it still affect you?" I asked. "What he did?"

"You see how I'm talking to you about it?" I nodded. "I'm not breaking down, I'm content, I'm strong. So, no I'm not affected by it anymore. I'm happy. I'm not acting anymore, not in my life, only on a screen."

Lucas' POV

I drove to Hannah's house. I knocked on the door and she answered.

"Hey Lucas," she said.

"Hey Hannah," I said. She was in a blue dress. "Ready to go?" I had asked her out the other day. Thankfully, she said yes.

"Yeah," she said. I opened her door for her and shut it behind her. I got in the driver's side and started driving.

KC's POV

I started writing some new lyrics I had come up with while Richard, the producer was messing around on the computer.

"What are you working on?" He asked.

"Song lyrics," I said.

"What do you think of this?" He started playing it, it was a synth pop type melody.

"I like it," I said. "Who's it for?"

"You," he said.

"What?" I asked. "I don't do that type of music."

"The president said you're doing that now," he said.

"No, I'm not," I said. "I do piano-based music."

"The record label would rather you do this," he shrugged.

"It's my music," I said.

"Record Labels like to brand people, why do you think they're having me produce your music? I mainly do electro-pop music." They had swapped out producer, it had been Chase, who produced music like mine.

"Hold on," I said. I dialed the president of the record label. "Hey, I need to speak with the president… KC Minkus….Well, I want to know why the label is trying to change my music…I understand, I'll call later." I hung up.

"It would be going against the label, but I'll produce your music the way you want," he said. "I know how it feels when people try to screw you over."

We continued working and recorded a new song all night. We ended up falling asleep on the couch in the studio.

No One's POV

A photographer snuck into the studio and took a picture of KC and Richard.
